Most of us are aware at how much energy a drying cycle will cost. Even if we don't know the exact monetary cost, we do know how quickly the wheel of the electricity counter spins once the dryer is on. This is one of the reasons why it's so important to get energy efficient washers and dryers, to cut down on your power bill and make life a little easier.

3. Miele Stackable Washer and DryerIt's surprising that we don't see this combo more often, and unfortunately, Miele's stackable washer and dryer aren't really budget friendly, but they can sure save space.

5. Teka's All-in-one Washer and DryerEven though there aren't that many combo washers and dryers available, it makes a lot of sense to us to have these two devices combined into a single appliance. [via Appliancist]
